[PATCH 1/2] kselftest: mm: prevent random failure of huge page split for khugepaged

[Yeoreum Yun <yeoreum.yun@arm.com>]

There're some random failure for split_huge_page_test when khugepaged
collapses pages into pmd again which had split by the test.

Prevent the khugepaged's collapses for split page by setting the
mapped pmd-huge-page with MADV_NOHUGEPAGE before split.
